In an official statement, the MCMC emphasises the importance of respecting the victims and their families, while also urging the public to demonstrate high levels of empathy.
The Commission cautions against the sharing of images or video recordings related to the incident, as doing so not only hurts the feelings of the victims’ families but also violates fundamental principles and ethics.
Every individual is urged to consider refraining from spreading pictures or content related to the tragic event.
For those who have uploaded or shared images or videos of the incident, the public is advised to take down such posts or delete the relevant content.
Furthermore, all parties are cautioned against making any speculations as the case is still under investigation by the authorities.
Any sharing of images or videos related to the tragedy may be subject to legal action under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
The MCMC underscores the significance of responsible and considerate behavior on social media platforms, particularly in the wake of sensitive events.
The Commission encourages the public to prioritize the well-being of the affected families and to refrain from engaging in any activities that may exacerbate their distress.
